I let this simple and delicious stock cook quietly while I made supper, cooled it and popped it in the fridge for later use. Easily prepared with ingredients nearly always in my fridge and pantry, I tasted it and found it excellent. No more stock cubes for me! Thank you, Mama Cee Jay, love this recipe! Made for Zingo! ZWT 5, for my teammate MCJ, Jammin' Java Jivers!
